Chasing Him (Mendarez Series #1)

Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Kiss

I'm sure i look like a zombie walking around in the cafè after i left the locker area,

But thankfully i still managed to do my job correctly, I don't want to mess up again at pagkatapos kong makabasag ng hindi mabilang na mga plato ay hindi na nila ako pinaghugas ulit

"Hoy! Ano iniisip mo? Kanina pa kita tinatawag" si Kate and snapped her fingers in front of my face

"I'm just tired" i said, it's 3pm already at marami talagang customer sa gantong oras dahil dito sila nagmemeryenda o minsan tuwing makikipagkita sa mga kaibigan o mga ka-meeting

"Dalhan mo daw ng americano si Sir" sabi nya,

Kumunot ang noo ko, kailangan ba ay ako pa talaga ang maghatid?

"Pwede ikaw nalang? Please, mag se-serve pa kase ako" palusot ko

"Ha? Ang sabi nya kase ay sabihan ka raw na dalhan sya ng americano kaya baka may sasabihin din sya sayo? Tsaka, ako nalang ang mag-se-serve nyan" si Kate kaya ngumuso ako dahil parang wala na talaga ata akong magagawa

Gusto ko na syang iwasan! I hate it, i hate to admit that I'm starting to feel what i felt for him before back when we're still in highschool

I hate it. I'm here to study, to prove myself to Ate and Kuya. To prove myself to myself. To work. To be independent. At hindi para maghanap ng boyfriend at lalong hindi para kiligin at maging selfish!

Inulit-ulit ko yun sa utak ko! Isaksak mo yan sa kukute mo, Aea! Sinasabi ko talaga sayo!

After my family's sacrifices for me, i feel like all my life ay pabigat lang ako, ang palagi ko lang iniisip ay ang pag bo-boyfriend, pakikipagsabunutan sa school, at iba ko pang kagagahan and now gusto kong patunayan that I'm willing to change and I'm a different person now

Kumatok ako nang dalawang beses na opisina ni Kaiden bago pihitin ang doorknob, i saw him reading some papers, he looked at me pagkapasok ko i smiled and bowed a bit, bumalik din kaagad sya sa ginagawa at hinayaan akong lumapit sa table nya

"Here's your americano" i said at inilapag iyon sa table nya, nabasa ko ang sinusulat nya sa papel, it's his name. Kaiden Jec Natividad sabay pirma sa taas nito. I smiled, i always find his name simple but it sounds hot.

"Thanks,"

"Uhh, i just wanna ask something" sabi ko kaya napatigil sya sa ginagawa at tumingin sakin

"Hmm? What is it?"

"I...i apologized earlier. Did you heard it?"

"Of course, why?"

"Did you accept my apology?" I asked and gritted my teeth,

"I'll think about it"

Napaismid ako, "C'mon! My apology is genuine, okay? Just accept it!"

"I'll tell you my answer later, I'm busy right now" he said and smiled a bit, napanganga ako! Of cours he's busy! What am i thinking?!

"Oh–I'm s-sorry" i smiled bitterly, nainis tuloy ako sa sarili ko, he's obviously busy and I'm bothering him because of my nonsense, i tilted ny head bago tinalikuran ang mess

I quietly left the office, our eyes met before i gently closed the door

Nang matapos ang shift ko ay nag-ayos na ako para umuwi, binalik ko ang apron ko sa locker at inayos ang mga gamit, i sanitized my hands before leaving the Cafè
